Credible reaction polls? What do viewers think when it comes to who won?

I think he prepared as much as he is capable of doing. He got like 15 minutes of material memorized then descended into incoherence and lies as per usual.

Worst president ever.
So? Did Nixon win or lose the election with using basically the same campaign tactic? Nice goal post shift. FTR the defeating ISIS rhetoric from both candidates is troubling.

Pretty much this.

He even targeted his anecdotes at swing states to appeal to them. He had statistics prepared to use to back up his points. Whether or not he remembered them properly or if they were inaccurate to begin with, we'll see. In either case, it's bad.

It was clear that there was a strategy in place. He was constantly saying that if you wanted to do [insert thing here], you would have done it by now. It was like a cookie-cutter answer his focus group came up with so the debate would be easier for them.

Hillary citing the NYT/et al endorsement of her vs Trump's support from military generals was pretty lol.

I thought it was a nice touch to reduce a cognitive bias.

Clinton also won the debate by particularly wide margins with women (54/36) and voters who are either African American or Latino (77/13). Among white voters the debate was basically a draw with Trump coming out ahead 47/45.

Yeah. He memorized three people's names and that was pushing it. (Blumenthal, Doyle, McClatchy)

That's not even really what Trump is borrowing from that Nixon campaign. It's "Law and Order."

CNN one wasn't an online poll, was a sample audience of 521, apparently significantly skewed democratic (41,26)

Your fellow RWNJ's are crowing everywhere that Trump "won" the Breitbart and Drudge polls handily.
